''Keith Richard" Portrait Telecaster

jimmybusk · December 27th, 2007, 02:50 PM

Here's the last one that I'll be showing,for a while. I'm going away,for a few months at the end of Dec. ,On a big project [guitar unrelated],and will be away from the computer. ...... About 2 months ago,I was a total 'Computer Idiot'. I tried at it before that,but my attention span couldn't grasp the thing....,Until I found this site,which made it fun to 'practice' I-net. Now I can download pics,type a little,etc. ....I think I'm on my way now ! Thanks All for the informative posts , and the compliments[and negative comments too] on my stuff. Thanks again !, and Happy New Year !! OOps, I almost forgot about Keith........

Absolute sacrilidge if you don't.

doster · December 28th, 2007, 03:47 PM

Looks a lot like the 1972 Keef, needs a humbucker and it looks great.

A bit more natural relic on the face please. He looks way worse than that

aznrambo481 · December 28th, 2007, 10:33 PM

I thought it was spelled keef

That's another fine piece of work! Nice color on the back too...

Awesome!

Nice one, jimmybusk

Fwiw - you probably know it and just forgot the "s" on his family name.
it's Richards.
although his manager in the ole' days, Andrew Loog Oldham, came up with the strange idea to skip the "s" to Richard.

jimmybusk · December 29th, 2007, 06:22 PM

Ok,You guys are right,Humbucker it is. I wonder which way keef wired his? ,being that a humbucker takes a 500k pot ,and the single coil takes a 250k.

Ed Bickert · December 29th, 2007, 06:28 PM

I actually prefer the 250K pot on all my humbuckered teles. I think it works exceptionally well. Especially when mated with the single coil in the middle positon.

It would be fitting for a Keef.

Any plans for a Bloomfield?

jimmybusk · December 29th, 2007, 10:26 PM

I started on a Bloomfield ages and ages ago.I'll get to finishing it someday,but I have too many things going on now ,to get to it. ....I hate to say it on this site,but,,,He's playing a Les Paul in the portrait.

Telarkaster · December 30th, 2007, 09:43 AM

Nice work Jimmy! Come back soon and have a Happy New Year!

mojocasterman · December 30th, 2007, 10:01 AM

Man, you do great work. Thanks sharing the pics!

Caper · December 30th, 2007, 10:04 AM

Jimmy, that guitar will have extreme mojo, absolutely phenomenal. I would be proud to play an axe like that, take a bow sir.

jimmybusk · December 30th, 2007, 03:02 PM

,Yeah,I think it will have the Mojo, 'cause its real lightweight swamp ash. I hope this one gets a little "beat up " ,from being played. Usually people stash these kind of guitars in a closet,or hang it on a wall. Everything should be used[IMO]...Thanks. 'Going to the airport now,and give you guys a rest from my "overdose" of posts. ,big Jim

giginthesky · December 30th, 2007, 03:20 PM

did you say butterscotch or butter and scotch? after all, it is keef we're talkin bout'.

jimmybusk · March 8th, 2008, 12:26 PM

......'A MESS !....I can never get used to that whole ''cleanin' up " thing !

mojocasterman · March 9th, 2008, 01:05 PM
